Tagwi Secondary School Grade 12 College Preparation Chemistry - SCH 4CE Teacher: Dr. R. Hammond e-mail: robert.hammond@ucdsb.on.ca Course Level: College Preparation Grade: 12 Credit Value: 1 Room: 223 Text: Chemistry 12 (Nelson) Prerequisite: SNC 2D / SNC 2P
Course Description This course introduces students to the concepts that form the basis of modern chemistry. Students will study qualitative analysis, quantitative relationships in chemical reactions, organic chemistry, electrochemistry, and chemistry as it relates to the quality of the environment. Students will employ a variety of laboratory techniques, develop skills in data collection and scientific analysis, and communicate scientific information using appropriate terminology. Emphasis will be placed on the role of chemistry in daily life and in the development of new technologies and products. Evaluation The course will be divided into a 70 % term mark and a 30 % summative assessment. The term mark will be evaluated for each of the four areas for achievement (knowledge/understanding, thinking, communication, application) which will be weighted equally. Knowledge and Understanding: Subject-specific content acquired in each course (knowledge), and the comprehension of its meaning and significance (understanding). Thinking and Investigation: The use of critical and creative thinking skills and inquiry, research, and problem-solving skills and/or processes. Communication: The conveying of meaning through various forms. Application: The use of knowledge and skills to make connections within and between various contexts. The assessment and evaluation policy at Tagwi is aligned with the Upper Canada District School Board’s “Student Assessment and Evaluation Framework: 2007.” Learning Skills Excellent attendance & punctuality, having an organized & complete notebook, completing homework, and participating, cooperating and demonstrating teamwork are other important keys to success that will be assessed and recorded on your reports home using the scale of excellent, good, satisfactory or needs improvement. Course Materials You will need to bring the following items to every class: Ø pens and pencils, eraser, ruler Ø a binder with plenty of paper (lined and a few sheets of graph paper) Ø textbook Ø calculator
Course Content This course is composed of six content areas (strands):
STRAND
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration
Ø demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in the four areas of skills (initiating and planning, performing and recording, analysing and interpreting, and communicating); Ø identify and describe careers related to the fields of science under study, and describe the contributions of scientists, including Canadians, to those fields.
Matter and Qualitative Analysis
Ø evaluate the effects of chemical substances on the environment, and analyse practical applications of qualitative analysis of matter; Ø investigate matter, using various methods of qualitative analysis; Ø demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of qualitative analysis of matter.
Organic Chemistry
Ø evaluate the impact on society, human health, and the environment of products made using organic compounds; Ø investigate the physical and chemical properties of organic compounds, and analyse some common organic chemical reactions; Ø demonstrate an understanding of the structure and the physical and chemical properties of organic compounds.
Electrochemistry
Ø analyse technological applications or processes relating to oxidation-reduction reactions, and assess their impact on the environment; Ø investigate the oxidation-reduction reaction that occurs in a galvanic cell; Ø demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of oxidation and reduction, and the principles of oxidation-reduction reactions.
Chemical Calculations
Ø analyse processes in the home, the workplace, or the environmental sector that use chemical quantities and calculations, and assess the importance of accuracy in chemical calculations; Ø investigate chemical compounds and chemical reactions using appropriate techniques of quantitative analysis, and solve related problems; Ø demonstrate an understanding of the mole concept and its quantitative relationships in chemical reactions.
Chemistry in the Environment
Ø evaluate the importance of government regulations, scientific analyses, and individual actions in improving air and water quality, and propose a personal plan of action to support these efforts; Ø investigate chemical reactions, using appropriate techniques of quantitative analysis; Ø demonstrate an understanding of chemical reactions that occur in the environment as a result of both natural processes and human activities.
Students must demonstrate a minimum Level 1 achievement of all of the Overall Expectations in order to receive a credit in this course. Course Materials You will need to bring the following items to every class: Ø pens and pencils, eraser, ruler Ø a binder with plenty of paper (lined and a few sheets of graph paper) Ø textbook Ø calculator
